With just 4 days there wasn't enough time to do justice to the Georgia coast. We visited Brunswick & the Golden Isles and Savannah.
Stuff is OLD along this stretch - this cobblestone street near the Savannah River is made from old ship's ballast stones.
Savannah was built in the 1700's around 24 park-like squares. 22 are still in existence - like shady green islands.
This bench supposedly marks the spot where Savannha's founder first spent the night when he came ashore in 1736.
Reed & I were amazed that these cannons, a gift from George Washington to the city of Savannah, are just sitting out in the open. They still fire them on occasion too!
Block after block of gorgeous old mansions and elegant homes of every shape & size kept us so occupied that there were lots of sights we missed....the tavern where Cap'n Flint gives Billy Bones the treasure map in Treasure Island...Paula Dean's buffet....the Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil tour.......probably need another visit.
This is Georgia?
